kind staff vegetarian meal spacious pool

the service was perfect. i found the staff very kind and helpful. the chef treated me to a special vegetarian sri lankan meal one evening. the new pool was big enough for a proper swim, and i saw many spaces to relax, both indoors and out.

the main shops and restaurants are geared toward tourists, not sri lankan residents.
